WELL, I USED TO SMILE WHEN I WAS A PUP,
SAILING DOWN THE NILE IN CHINA CUP,
WITH THE RECIPE FOR A LOVELY DAY
STICKING OUT MY BACK POCKET.

BUT IT WASN'T ALWAYS SUCH A PRETTY SIGHT,
'CAUSE WE USED TO FIGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS
TILL ME MADE IT UP IN THE BALLROOM.

BALLROOM DANCING, MADE A MAN OF ME,
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
I JUST PLAIN ADORE YOUR
BALLROOM DANCING, SEEN IT ON TV
I GOT WHAT I GOT FROM BALLROOM DANCING.
BIG B.D.

WELL, I USED TO FLY WHEN I WAS A KID,
AND I DIDN'T CRY IF IT HURT A BIT,
ON A CARPET RIDE TO A FOREIGN LAND
AT THE TIME OF DAVY CROCKETT.

BUT IT WASN'T ALWAYS SUCH A PRETTY SIGHT,
'CAUSE WE USED TO FIGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS
TILL ME MADE IT UP IN THE BALLROOM.

BALLROOM DANCING, MADE A MAN OF ME,
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
I JUST PLAIN ADORE YOUR
BALLROOM DANCING, SEEN IT ON TV
I GOT QUITE A LOT FROM BALLROOM DANCING.
BIG B.D.

- "Ladies and Gentlemen,
The band is ready and we're starting with the first of our
dances in this competition, that's the 'Cha Cha Cha'."

WELL, IT WENT SO FAST AND WE ALL GREW UP,
NOW THE DAYS THAT PASSED IN THE CHINA CUP,
ARE THE MEMORIES OF ANOTHER DAY
AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO KNOCK IT.

OH, BUT IT WASN'T ALWAYS SUCH A PRETTY SIGHT,
'CAUSE, WE USED TO FIGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS
TILL ME MADE IT UP IN THE BALLROOM.

BALLROOM DANCING, MADE A MAN OF ME,
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
I JUST PLAIN ADORE YOUR
BALLROOM DANCING, SEEN IT ON TV
I GOT QUITE A LOT FROM BALLROOM DANCING.
BIG B.D.

OH!
